He alleged that the US intends to accuse Assad's troops of using chemical weapons against civilians, and then "carry out a bombing attack" on Damascus. Gerasimov warned that Russia would "take retaliatory measures" if the US targeted areas where its military are located in the Syrian capital....The American attack seems imminent, with mounting signs of movements of American and Russian warships in the Mediterranean in attack formation ...
